Ohio State will try to halt worst streak in a century against Michigan

No. 1 Ohio State enters Saturday’s showdown at No. 15 Michigan with a chance to stop a streak it hasn’t seen in nearly a century.

The Buckeyes (11-0, 8-0 Big Ten, No. 1 CFP) have lost four straight to the Wolverines, a skid that has put pressure on coach Ryan Day and raised the stakes of "The Game" even higher before the College Football Playoff.

Ohio State hasn’t dropped five in a row in the rivalry since a six-game losing streak from 1922 to 1927, according to ESPN.

Michigan (9-2, 7-1, No. 18 CFP) has rebounded from early-season struggles behind a resurgent defense and improved play along the offensive line. The Wolverines also remain in the hunt for a New Year’s Six bowl. However, they'll need another win over OSU to get there. 

With Playoff implications on the line for Ohio State and a chance for Michigan to spoil its rival’s unbeaten season, Saturday’s meeting in Ann Arbor is set to deliver another tense chapter in college football’s most storied rivalry (Noon ET, FOX).
